Barack Obama Discusses Civil Liberties At Farmington Hills Town Hall

[frankixbox]

GO OBAMA and the constitution

[sweetnisha08]

vote barack/biden 08

[tugbuggy]

lol look at the girl at 4:30 in the back ground!

[LargeSoda]

Keep pushing the issues out there, guys. Some of us are listening.

[420chronmasta]

Americans for Obama

Spread the word!!!

[Chestmuscles]

Thank you for being there for us Barack. Viva la Vida! Long live life! The constitution is the supreme law of America with the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence. It is what the founding fathers fought for and we must uphold it. I will uphold it.

[pigs213]

My dad is in the background

[suncagervideo]

AmericanMan1216- be ready for President Obama.

This will happen!

[burnunit]

"Barack the bomb thrower or Barack the guy running for president" is so spot on. He so effectively inserts his name into this and reaches in the direction of racial issues, to reframe them. It's a shameful legacy in the US, the arrests of so many innocent persons of color-- the old "DWB" thing. I bet in his past Obama has been viewed suspiciously by cops (it won't happen now with all those secret service!) The situation for Arabs is of a piece. Habeas corpus MUST be restored in this country!

The Ugly Of War - Afghanistan

[ChrisM70]

There is something fundamentally flawed if someone reasoned and intelligent like Obama loses to a fear mongerer and Bush apologist like McCain.

Let's all hope that doesn't happen, and work to make sure Barck wins!

[thegales5]

You are joking, right?

[GrownupPhan]

That was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

FINALLY!!! God bless that rambling question because this has been needing to be said loud and strong.

[nraughmoobmuas]

2:25 = Barack is quick and smart!

This man is America's greatest hope in the new century. Vote for him. If he doesn't win, we'll be doomed.

[crikeyuncle]

What I don't understand is how people can even think about voting for someone who's whole run for the presidency depends on baseless personal attacks, and building up their WELL known background as a POW. What I dont' understand even more is why in the world they would think about voting for him when you have someone who is young and genuinely wants to help the American way of life by restoring the civil liberties, actually having policies that can be PAID FOR.

OBAMA 08/12!! Destiny is at hand.

[latentsun]

Chicago knew they needed Obama on their side in the Senate, now the Country knows that we need him now leading the nation.

Protect the Constitution- it was a document of peace once upon a time.

[Fos1972]

There is absolutely no point in replying to this ignorance with anger. This train of thought is amongst the minority of people in America anymore, who are either ignorant or disturbed. We all know America is a melting pot and not a sacred land for the white man. If you can't accept that, it's time to return to your roots. However, if Obama is a used car salesman, he'll have to switch his party nomination to Republican, because McCain is definitely running the typical used car salesman BS.

[lildwayne21]

I was there

[serafseraf]

He's a true patriot and made good points.

[Elu112]

You seriously can't believe that anyone but the ignorant and the uneducated would ever listen to you. Obama is the best thing that has happened to your country in years. Funny how your signature has the number 1216 in it, that is probably the year you are stuck in. Can't you recognize intelligence and great moral values when it stares you in the face? I guess you can't because that requires intellect and good moral values. America would be better off without you. Greetings from Holland.

[stephenliem]

great

[robroy]

Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

[KyndestKid]

You and people who make statements such as this one...are the reason why are country is in the shape that it's in. Being happy with the status quo equals complacency and mediocrity. The fact that your discussing his race is irrelevant to argument. Listen to his message of "hope" and "change and not his skin color and funny name and you might just learn a thing or two!!!

McSame Bullshit 08!!!!

Vote Obama 08!!!!

[MPisciesM13]

you know. this is the first smart comment i see in a long time.

[undeadnow]

dumb people scare me and your post just proved that even dumb ignorant racist people will take 2 min of your life to spread hate. Dont tell me your a church going AMERICANMAN of a man.cuase What would the lord say about your post think about it

[meteorpinball72]

Anyone know how to respond to guys like this?

Should we just pat them on the head and say "Its Ok. We Understand."

[meteorpinball72]

LOL AmericanMan2116, What are you talking about?

Are you attempting to suggest that we all join you and your hallucinations?

No joke, Seriously?

[burlyr]

I hope that's sarcasm. Otherwise I have lost all faith in humanity just now.

[inrgb]

I'm a republican and am voting for Obama in 2008. You'd have to be a complete moron to vote otherwise in this election. McCain/Palin are dangerously ignorant of their own constitution and a hazard to the rest of the world.

Obama/Biden 08

[XxAlmightyStanxX]

Same here. Registered Republican voting for a better America with Obama.

Obama/Biden 2008

[fnnkybutt]

It's not enough to come on YouTube and comment on videos. Every one of you who supports Obama and is able to, must get out and vote. Our country depends on it.

[evaangellus]

First of all, Africa is a continent, not a country.

Secondly, saying that someone's name is grounds for them not being president is rather sad. Such an argument is disturbing weak.

Lastly, if your going to diss Obama, discredit his policies, not his name.

[kelaltieri]

.. these folks. XD

[icu812a]

It's pretty sad that Obama even has to waste his time on this pathetic spin on habeas corpus. But since he did have to respond to it, he nailed it.

[freshbat5]

go obama08

[kraskp]

This man has to be president. Please vote, people.

[KingDrudge]

As a Republican, I am soooooo glad to see Obama throw it right back in that relgious zealot Palin's face. The constitution is not something to be lauged at.

Obama should show more fire in the belly, but something tells me he is doing a Ali style rope-a-dope and waiting for the debates to just knock McCain silly.

NOT ALL REPUBLICANS ARE BUYING WITH MCBUSH IS SELLING.

[freedomaintfries]

i have noticed his occasional hesitance to be more aggressive. hopefully your rope-a-dope theory is correct(lol). I'm not a real obama fan but I would consider voting for him depending on how well he does against McCain in the debates. I'm waiting to see if he's got the right stuff to expose McCain for the phony, duplicitous, deceitful politician he is. we'll see...

[suncagervideo]

Brother, that is the truth!!!!!!!!!!!

America comes first before party!!!!!

Obama/Biden 08!

[IndependantCuban]

He should be more specific and incorporate the statistics to his answer. The patriot act puts our very right to free speech and to privacy into peril without revision. As we see in demonstrations at the RNC. Dissent is absolutly neccersary in a democracy.

Obama 08

[democrat10]

Obama sure as hell schooled the Republicans.

[Eaacker]

I think everyone is getting tired of the Republican's Nationalistic Bull Crap being used as an excuse to subvert our constitutional rights.

[fitzer77]

Brilliant.

[MrPogle]

Barack, it's time to give them hell. The GOP machine are Machiavellian/Rovian, as you know. Your high road is noble. A lot is at stake. Give it back, Barack.

God love you. You are the president of a lifetime and I am doing all I can with my actions, my finances and my hopes to get you elected.

OBAMA/BIDEN '08.

A note about JOE. He's fantastic. I cringe, though, when he calls McCain "John". Put more distance there. I know they were honorable friends, if poles apart. Call him McCain.

[HitParade]

@ 2:22 - OWNAGE. Well played, Mr. President. Well played.

[stalker321678]

While I do support Sen. Obama (even though I'm not even American), I felt he skirted around answering the question in this clip.

I hope if he encounters such questions in the future, he will be able to give an outline as to how he will restore the rights taken away during the Bush administration and undo the legislation which allowed those sacred rights to be undermined.

[trublueone]

Obama answered the question very clearly.

[Ludacrispat26]

GOBAMA!

[TPAUSA]

OBAMA/BIDEN'08!!!

\

All the way!!

[Sundancer8]

The Republicans have been making a mockery of the Constitution for years. It comes as no surprise that McCain and Palin and all the other Bu-shites would continue to do the same thing in the midst of a toxic smokescreen of lies and distorted facts.

McCain is also typical of most warmongers when he claims not to like war...it is in his DNA!He responds from his warlike spirit and can do no better. We can only expect more of the same from them.

It would be great to have an intelligent President!

[Ambushofblacks]

haha proves how easly americans are brainwashed by simple remarks people make day to day, alot of people say their being brain washed by obama's works that their idiots for voting for him, but when you look at the words of fellow replicans who never spoke like obama and just mock him, you gotta wonderng who the real idiot voters are...

[LiberalViewer]

5 stars and added to favorites!

I'm glad to see Sen. Obama so eloquently refuse the false choice between freedom and security. I look forward to an Obama Administration that will keep us both SAFE and FREE!

Thx 4 uploading this video :-)

[NEXUS1A]

this is the smartest brighest politician I ve ever heard!!!! YEs WE CAN!!! He is Brilliant

[BizyTheGyllenhaalic]

I got a crush on him

[Girlforaction]

i am a lesbian and even I am having a crush on the guy. He is a cutie.

[poopsmudge]

That lady makes catching terrorists sound like it should be {catch, and release} or more precisely {catch, litigate, and release}. Terrorists are enemy militant combatants. Wars on a battlefield aren't won with lawyers, then are won with armies and intelegence personale.

Catching terrorists should be

{catch, interragate,

litigate in a military court of law} or

release} depending on the information given up in the interogation. Litigation stalls the information gaining process.

[tigerakabj]

That's right Obama! These Republicans have clearly been ignoring the Constitution doing their own thing. Initiate trials on these folks Mr. Civil Rights Lawyer & Constitutional Scholar! Obama/Biden 2008/2012!!

[Girlforaction]

yes, barack. preach barack, preach. Preach!!!!

[Girlforaction]

you go lady.
